Hello.

What is the name of the default theme at bbpress.org/forums?

[havealookhere]

Hi all,

I have some questions regarding bbpress because some things are driving me nuts.

1)

I wanted to move my bbpress from a website to another website with a different domain. I have searched a lot, but till now there is no good description about moving bbpress. Is it still like there is no plugin or tool for this?

So I have exported the forums and topics and replies with the “Tools export” and imported them with “tools import”. Ofcourse it did not work. So i tried to use the repair settings of bbpress but with no luck. The recalculating stuff breaks the forum even more. At the end I had to open every single topic, put it in trash. save it, then re-post it. To get it to work.

So when going to “tools->bbpress” the repair and recalculating is not working very great. How can I get this to work? Because, when I recalculate the freshnesh link for example, it removes all freshnesh links from the forum. It is only coming back visible when i add a new topic to a forum.

I am very happy its only a small forum because I can play around to understand the functionallity. But, I am starting to get concerned what will happen when the forum will become bigger. Can someone explain to me, how to approach this situation?

As a theme I use Sydney pro. I have searched if there are any conflicts but couldnt find any. Does someone know about problems with bbpress and this theme?

I really like bbpress since its easy to make it look like I want but I dislike everything what I have experienced. To be honest I think, I do things wrong, but I cannot find any explaination to do it better.

Can someone give me an advice?

Oh and last part. It is not possible to import the replies since they are not visible in the dashboard. When I import them the published and all link show a number but the list keeps empty and it breaks the forum. There should be an easier way to do this I hope.

So long story short, how do you all manage your bbpress forum and how do you fix this kind of problems?

Sorry for any bad English.

Regards

Jap

Hi

I’d like to add a link “Edit my profile” in Login widget as users dont guess they have to click on their username to access their profile

Right now login widget shows :

Username
Logout

I would like :

Username
Edit my profile
Logout

How can i get that ?

I noticed bbpress official forum had exactely the same idea and did this in their user dropdown menu 🙂

thank you !

[DeepBlue]

I agree with you, but i tested bbpress with the top 20 wordpress themes, and confirmed that user profile and search pages were not detected by any theme

all other pages are detected except those 2

it’s like those 2 pages don’t belong to the same template than other bbpress pages in the core code

[Robin W]

that would tend to indicate an issue with bbpress and elementor working together, which I have already seen with their Hello theme.

bbpress works to WordPress standards, many theme builders exist because they see WordPress as a restriction and feel they can offer improvements, so stretch and alter what WordPress does, which can then can make plugins have issues.

Because it is open source, and there are no definitive rules, it is wrong to say that it is a bbpress problem, or indeed an elementor problem or a divi problem, each makes their own code to work, but you cannot guarantee interoperability of everything with everything.

[DeepBlue]

Hi

I is actually not a divi problem

It is the same problem with various themes

We have the same problem using different themes with Elementor

It is a bbpress problem

[Robin W]

Sorry – you seem to want to abuse me as being stupid. I just help out here for free so phrases such as

I do not see the connection with the question ever.

and

Certainly I took a while to understand what you wanted to explain but I did it.

are not welcome.

I hope you are able to sort your issue, which may be site related or that you are doing something I am not.

Maybe try and do here what you are doing on your test site – this site is bbpress.

[Robin W]

You can use almost any theme – some integrate better.

to style bbpress use

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

No, that’s what it does.

I don’t know of anything that does exactly what you want.

bbpress is forum software – it does not try to emulate FB – sorry

Sorry about the newbie questions.

I have a wordpress install and like the theme. I wanted to add BBPress/BuddyPress
To the wordpress site, Is it better to create a separate WordPress install for BBPress
with the a specific BBpress theme?

Or is it possible to add a special theme to ONLY style BBpress?

Thank you

[4sbc]

Sorry this is the URL https://courtvictim.com/support/network/groups/divorce-court/
and I am using BuddyPress with BBpress
Still trying to figure it all out

[DeepBlue]

Hi

Two solutions : you can either use this plugin :

or an easier solution, add this css, it will hide the possibility to change nickname (it will be only possible to change if from admin dashboard)

i think this is a good choice, as you dont want your members to constantly change their nicknames

label[for=nickname] {
    display: none!important;
}
input#nickname {
    display: none!important;
}
label[for=display_name] {
    display: none!important;
}
select#display_name {
    display: none!important;
}

[DeepBlue]

Sure 🙂

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-search-form {
	display: none!important;
}

[Robin W]

it is theme related, but add this to the custom css part of your theme

#bbpress-forums {
	padding: 15px !important;
}

I can’t help with the subscribe, as that only shows to logged in users.

Hello, I’m installing bbPress on wordpress 2022 theme and bbPress doesn’t seem to work. It shows empty pages. Is it not support on this theme?

[macheteyeti]

Hello,

We are eagerly evaluating bbPress as an alternative to our current Facebook secret group. Initially we came across BuddyPress, but it seems overly high priced for our needs, so bbPress is a welcome alternative.

A critical feature to us is to have a notification modal ala Facebook, where users are made aware of all posts and replies.

From my research, not exhaustive, but I like to think pretty thorough, I have not been able to find anything to achieve this. Lots of plugins for email notifications, but this is less appealing for us. Hoping someone has an insight to set me on the right direction.

We are picturing adding a button the navigation. On click, it pops up a list of recent posts and indicates if it is new or already read by you.

Hi

Im working on this on file loop-single-topic.php

How can i show only user avatar ?

as in the code above this line show avatar AND user name :
<span class=”bbp-topic-freshness-author-av”><?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 48 , ‘type’ => ‘avatar’ ) ); ?></span>

How can i show only avatar on left side and on right side date of last post AND last poster name

like this bbpress site for instance:

https://olympus.crumina.net/groups/hiking-route/forum/

Thanks

So I have the issue resolved.

I checked the box to let bbPress Notify (no spam) “Override subscriptions” so that this plugin handles those replies.

[mjrodrig3z]

Topics or replies not showing on participant profile/dashboard bar. It only shows dashboard and then profile. However, they are both showing for moderators.Please help!

Wordpress version 5.9.2
bbPress version 2.6.9

[meembat]

I am using bbpress notify (no spam). I just dropped the no spam part in the post.

I am ok with the Bcc. Just need to figure out how to ensure bbpress notify (no spam) does not interfere with the notifications from subscriptions.

The alternative would be default all users to be subscribers to all forums. Is there a plugin for that? Or else may need some code or direct database changes to implement that.

[Robin W]

I had NOT set bbpress notify to override bbpress subscriptions, so not sure why it was still disabling those notifications.

I suspect that plugin assumes you want to override the subscriptions – but no idea.

However, the email seem to have been addressed to noreply@domain, with the user email Bcc’ed

Yes this is how bbpress now does this. The idea is that many mailservers chop lots of emails being sent at once, so this avoids that pitfall in theory. The fact that the noreply goes nowhere is not an issue as such, and you’ll find that many sites use this method.

You can use this to amend that, though old this plugin still works

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

and if you want to amend the sending email use

bbp style pack

and dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

Finally you might want to try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ as a better version of the notify plugin

[meembat]

I disabled bbpress Notify and found that the notifications to replies/subscription is working.

I had NOT set bbpress notify to override bbpress subscriptions, so not sure why it was still disabling those notifications.

However, the email seem to have been addressed to noreply@domain, with the user email Bcc’ed

Is that how the notifications are sent? Not sure where the noreply@ was set, there is no such email in the system, so it will bounce.

That is the default bbpress display 🙂 🙂

Hi

I noticed that “: )” doesnt create a smiley on a standard bbpress forum, but it does on this official forum 🙂 how can i have the same ?

also how to show emoticons on create / reply form ?

thank you

[Robin W]

ok, If you are certain that

1. the box is being ticked (by default it is left blank), and that
2. emails are working from within bbpress (ie if someone else subscribes to the topic they get an email)

then the standard fault finding applies…

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back
